In 2011, Anime Studio 8 added features such as the Character Wizard, layered Photoshop import, and real-time media connection. In 2010, Smith Micro released Anime Studio 7, which added features such as Physics, 3D creation and an improved interface. The software was distributed by E Frontier until 2007, when it was acquired by Smith Micro and renamed Anime Studio, as a marketing companion for the former Manga Studio. The software was originally developed under the name "Moho" in 1999 by Mike Clifton at Lost Marble. It has two different packages: Moho Pro and Moho Debut, similar to the pro version but with features restricted. Moho (previously marketed as Anime Studio) is a proprietary vector-based 2D animation application distributed by Lost Marble LLC.
